I began dancing at 18 months old. I just loved it.  By the age of six, I knew my passion was in the performing arts. I first began my professional career at the Art of Classical Ballet and Aventura Dance Academy, where I received expert training from Magaly Suarez and Ali Osi Paquin. Osi Paquin received training from Manogonver, who is respected as the creator of a special method of ballet training.

At 15, I was accepted as an apprentice to Miami City Ballet, where I was to fill in for an array of parts for their dance company.  Throughout the next few years I was accepted to train with a variety of companies such as Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida, the Miami City Ballet, Miami Contemporary Dance Company and Ballet Gamonet Maximum Dance Company.  During this time, my biggest accomplishment was being cast as the lead actress in ‘The Firebird’, a folktale about a phoenix where the choreography and costumes were based solely around me.  My teacher Vladimir Issaev wanted to do this performance for a while, yet was waiting for someone he thought could handle the role.  It was a huge honor and I learned so much from this experience.
